Habitat Ciguena Negra

This is a very beautiful finca with the fattest most contented animals. The whole area is like a beautiful park. We went for four days of relaxation. After a very difficult road experience because google maps put us on an ancient dirt road, we found the finca…..on another very nice road. We were greeted and got an upgrade. However, after we checked in a disaster occurred. My husband had a vein in his leg burst! By the time I got the tourniquet tied the room was a disaster zone. I was able to alert the staff who rushed to help. Our luck held as a doctor had just checked in. The staff got an emergency ambulance team in about 10 minutes and all was well and no need for the ambulance. They could not do enough for us. That night Marga cleaned the entire room for us and even got the bedding changed. Next day she drove us to the local clinic for a bandage change. Turns out Marga was the daughter of the owner as well as the manager. The entire team was terrific and the service first class. I felt spoiled and at home. The food was also gourmet. The steaks were to die for……aged and cooked to perfection. I had the beef carpaccio every day for lunch! My husband loved his baby goat dinner. The wine selection was first class. We have definitely decided to go again! We live on the ocean in the Portuguese Algarve. I thought we had the most beautiful scenery until I saw this area. Beautiful does not due justice to it. My one complaint is that we had no lettuce and tomato salads on the menu. Hardly a worthy complaint! We often travel to the north to catch the ferry to Britain staying in Paradors along the way…..rushing to make it …no more…..straight to the finca for peace, luxury and great food. We will now take our time.
